“I was hoping you’d say that.”
He smiled.
“The class is only for an hour and a half. And I’d rather—that is—I’m not ready to share it with her, what we’re doing.”
He ran his napkin across his lips, trying to hide his grin.
“What?” I demanded.
His grin turned into a laugh.
“I don’t get it! What’s so funny?”
“Willa,” he said after his laughter subsided. “She knows.”
“What? How! I didn’t tell her.”
“No, you didn’t tell her,” he agreed. “But Dylan saw us kissing outside Boots. He told her. She confronted me when I dropped her off at Charlie’s.”
“She didn’t,” I said, my mouth gaping.
“Oh, yes, she did.”
“What did she say?”
“She wanted to know what my intentions with you are.” His grin slid across his face. “So, I thought it only fair to level with her and tell her the truth.”
“The truth.”
“Yep.”
“So, she knows.” I leaned back in my chair. “Wow. And she didn’t let on that she knew. I mean, she hasn’t busted my chops or anything. No more than usual, I mean.”
“She probably will tonight when she gets home.”
“You think?”
“Yeah. Because I texted her that I was taking you out on a date. She said to have you home by eleven.” He winked. “Oh, and to also bring home a tiramisu for her.”
“That Little Punk,” I said with a laugh.
“That nickname sure does fit, doesn’t it?”
“Yeah, it totally does.” I shook my head and felt a great sense of relief unfurling inside of me. “I’m glad she knows, actually.”
“So, you’re not pissed.”
“No. I hate keeping stuff from her. And she’s proven she can keep a secret.”
“You know what else this means?”
“What?”
“I can pick you up at your house on my motorcycle and drive you home.”
I smiled. “Like a real boyfriend.”
“Boyfriend. Is that what I am?” he asked, his smile softening.
